Adams State Refuses to Race S.E. Wyoming Community College

hahaha you d1 guys are just sooooo funny, fast and.... the biggest deuches on the planet. go run or smell your own farts or whatever you self righteous bastards do. ducking a team who jogs for fun vs ducking a team whos really fast is completely different. osu is racing adams this season, osu>oregon

Speaking of douches...you are it. So, has Adams State scheduled SE Wyoming Community College yet? They are on a par with DII (second tier) of which Adams State is. Don't come here and even intimate that Adams State is anywhere near the level of an Oregon or any other quality D1 Program.

hahaha i guess you missed the track season. compare adams and oregons 5k and 10k times from this 09 season. im not saying adams would win, but they are most definitely a worthy adversary. they had at least 4 guys sub 14

Here's the deal...I have a tremendous amount of respect for Adams State. They would do very well in D-1. However, I am getting very sick of hearing these clowns toot their own horns. Part of the reason you are good is because you are able to bring athletes that D-1 schools cannot due to eligibility. The other part is you have great athletes and a great coach.

If you want to run Division 1, transfer to a f***ing Division 1 school. Otherwise we dont want to hear about you and this chip on your shoulder inferiority complex that leads to these retarded posts that diminsh your program as a whole

First, it doesn't appear that an Adams State runner would have started this thread, so enough with this tooting your own horn crap. Instead of pointing fingers at the Adams State guys, why not call out all of the D1 runners with an inferiority complex and chip on the shoulder who refuse to give credit where credit is due? By the way, who on the Adams roster wouldn't be eligible for D1?

So Adams wins Griak last year yet they aren't anywhere near the level of a quality D1 program?

the adams guys arnt on these threads. and all of adams top 5 scorers from last year would probably be d1 eligible. not sure why the d1 guys are being such pricks. you guys have more depth and way more talent, were just saying that the top d2 guys should be allowed to race some d1 guys, not at nationals but in the other earlier meets. d2 guys work really hard and deserve a chance as some of them will be top american pros and better the sport.

And I just heard that Matt and Stephanie have a new daughter, Congratulations! Maybe she will be the next generation of Adams State standout runner.

NCAA D1 has rules set in place to ensure that they only face D1 teams. I don't know the exact rule, but I believe as much as 70 % of any eligible D1 competition must be composed of D1 schools, otherwise coaches are forced to modify results (taking out all non D1 competition) to score the meets.

I don't really blame Oregon for not inviting non-D1 schools to compete against, since it makes there lives much easier. But, the NCAA rule set in place is really pointless and made for coaches with major ego problems. Adam's State has an incredible team this year and they deserve to race against the best. D1 is like some kind of Yacht Club or something.

If these D2 guys are so good, why don't they just go to a D1 school. If they'd do that, they we have a chance to run with the best, then they would know where they really stack up. So to repeat my question, do they not have the grades? Do they not have the talent? Didn't they realize that by going to a D2 school, they have to learn to put a chip on their shoulder?

Adams State is a great program and better than almost every D1 program, as Griak illustrated. On the other hand, there aren't a lot (or any?) D1 programs with that kind of altitude to benefit their athletes. Any program at that altitude, with a good coach, would be very successful. That is a huge advantage. Even Bekele said that when he's more than ten days away from altitude, he feels slow and heavy. But he's not training or living at Adams State's altitude.

This subject is being beaten to death. There have been great D2 teams before Adams State and there will be great D2 teams after Adams State. Many of whom arguably could be in the top 5-10 or better at a D1 national championship.

Yet, I cannot remember one group of guys from a D2 school that constantly came on here and continuously bitched and moaned about the lack of respect they get. You guys are diminishing yourselves with this crap. We get it, you're good, now go away.

Adams state can also recruit any athlete. I know a few of their athletes who couldn't get into any other schools. Seriously rejected from every school except adams state.

I didn't run collegiately at all, not even sure if I spelled that right. But,

"Speaking of douches, you are it" Eloquent.
